The new services would take around 18 months to complete
A new motorway service station is set to be built between Preston and Blackpool on the M55. The facility has been proposed for a site just off the new junction 2 of the motorway, where the motorway meets the recently-opened Preston Western Distributor Road, LancsLive reports.
According to documents submitted to Preston council on behalf of the proposed operator, Moto, the services would revolve around a main 'amenity building' – providing hot and cold food and drink, indoor and outdoor seating, toilets and baby changing facilities. A petrol station and Starbucks has already been built on Edith Rigby Way itself, at its junction with the new William Young Way. However, that much smaller development – on land previously occupied by the Saddle Inn pub – is yet to open.
